No. Because there will technically always be someone "better" than my SO (and me).
-Better looking.
-Better mentally, smarter.
-Better speaking.
-Better with manners.
-Better confidence.
etc. etc.
But that doesn't matter. If you're with your partner, the "betters" don't even compete with them. You love them as they are. And even though there are lots of "betters" out there, the person you love feels like the best for you.
And even if you did run off with every "better" you'll just end up jumping from person to person cuz technically, there are limitless potential "betters" but there is no "best" (until you finally decide).
And you'll never learn to appreciate and value what you already have.
Absolutely not. When I really care for the person I'm with (and I wouldn't be in a committed relationship with him if I didn't), I find myself not as attracted to other guys anymore anyways. I mean, obviously if I walk by a smokin hot dude I will notice and probably even think "nice", but I'm not thinking about jumping his bones like I would be when I was single.
If I find myself wanting to cheat or tempted to cheat, I know there is a problem in the relationship and I either need to figure out what it is and try to work it out, or break up with him.
Cheating is for losers.
I respect the person I'm with and the commitment I've agreed to. I put my effort into making the relationship the best it can be rather than chasing after some other guy. When I'm in a relationship, guys actually don't appeal to me, I never look at them as prospective partners because I'm happy with the guy I'm with. I'm extremely loyal, shame other people can't be.
Hannah, couldn't say it better. I feel the same.
87 guys didn't realize that when they voted it was anonymous! xD Nah man, id never do that shit.
I wonder if the fact that less than 10 percent of GAGers pick yes means people don't expect to cheat but wind up doing so anyway, or if it means that the cheaters are all out there cheating while we're all messing around on the internet.
Anyway, no. I've had the opportunity, and in retrospect will say "My girlfriend was cheating on me at the time, so I should have done it," but in the midst of my relationships I respected my partners and trusted that they respected me. If not, I wouldn't be with them.
She went abroad for a semester and I just stopped trying to get in touch with her. There was no "F-U! It's over!" moment.
voted for NO because you make a choice to go with someone and then you should stay with this person in my opion and if you aren;t happy anymore togetheren then break up and then you can go with someone else... and by the way there is always someone who is better in some way then your partner and so you can't never be faithfull

N o way never ever. It can happen that you find someone to be more attractive than your partner. That is a pretty shitty situation. Only one reasonable thing you should do; work up the guts to tell them. See where it takes your relationship. But cheating is off limits at all times.
Pretty shitty of course, but I'd rather he'd be up front and honest about his feelings, instead of him being uncomfortable, unhappy or not satisfied for no 'apparent' reason. I'd hate to see him become more and more distant and not knowing why or how I could change that.
When I met my boyfriend, we kept it more as a light dating with benefits situation for about a month before he asked me to be his girlfriend. Since we took our time and take our relationship seriously (plan a future or go home, I guess), if either of us decide we are growing apart beyond fixing, it would be best to break up before daring to break hearts with infidelity. If any person decides to cheat, for any reason, I don't care if this causes offense, but I think they're lower than scum. Be an adult and end the relationship.
I wouldn't because with my experience looks don't mean shit. They can be abusive, controlling, bad in bed, narcissistic or douche bags all around. Don't be fooled by the face/body! Not worth it.
The only way I can date someone is if I have some level of respect for them. It's just against my morals and I couldn't be so disrespectful and cruel. I'm also an extremely loyal person and again couldn't go against my moral code.
What about you, what would you do?
Absolutely not. Doesn't matter how much 'better' this other person is than my boyfriend. I'd never go any further than just thinking the other guy is hot.
Even if they were some sort of Adonis with whom I clicked even better and had great sexual chemistry, it wouldn't cut it.
I would break up with my boyfriend before feeling like making a move on anyone else.
And what if you were married with three young children and in a financially tight spot. For past 5 years your husband has turned you down for sex constantly. Only having sex with you two or three times over those five years and without fore play. Divorce would split the family and crush you financially. You'd have to live with your parents even. You meet a charming man in a similar situation who comforts you and whom you confort back. He listens to you and feels your frustration as do do you to his pain. One night while your husband is out at the gym like always you and your friend meet. You kiss, hesitantly but you feel so understood and connected you can't stop yourself. You make love and a. Affair starts. Now you are happy and your children can feel the positive energy in the home. You go back to school at night and develop you professional skills so you can afford to move on when the children are older and can understand. What about cheating then?
same conditions stand. Like I said, the reasons why they cheated don't negate the fact that they still betrayed my trust by being unfaithful. Yes, this wife was not in a good spot in the relationship with her husband, but that in no way warrants what she did. Don't forget; she's a grown woman, and was perfectly capable of divorcing or breaking up with her husband prior to.
Yeah, that might have it's own negative consequences including financially, but do you really think splitting up a marriage by way of an affair will do any differently?
No.
When you're with someone that you love, there is no "better."
Sure, there are other attractive people, other talented people, other compelling people, but taken as a whole, nobody is better than the partner that you love.
I said no... for three reasons:
1) I could not cheat and live with myself period, because I would let her down and knowing that I hurt her would pretty much kill me inside;
2) That no matter how hot or rich that other person was, it would not replace what I have with her.
3) And finally, I have two daughters so demonstrating to them how a guy is suppose to treat a women, does not include cheating on them.
If there was someone I'd rather be with, I wouldn't have decided to be with my significant other at all.
Why would I take the chance of ruining everything I have worked so hard to maintain in my relationship, because someone is hot? No way.
If I wanted to screw around, I wouldn't have settled down.
Exactly!
I said no. I don't take being with someone lightly. When I feel something for someone I feel it strongly and deeply. I'd be content with who I was with and if I wasn't, I'd be a big girl and either sort out the issues or end it (if I felt like there was nothing that could done.)
And how is this other person better? By looks or personality. Either way I think it's low, so you'll cheat with someone better, so you're making yourself a worse person anyway.
My SO makes me extremely happy even in my worse days! Nothing would compare to him. ^_^ im sticking to my guy and will always be faithful to him^_^
ahaha oh wow :") noiceeee and yepp he is an amazing person ^_^
There is no one better for me than my SO. I'm dating the best of the best. No such thing as better.
If this person is really more attractive than your significant other, breaking up with your girlfriend/boyfriend would be a much better alternative than cheating. However, one should think long and hard before being in a relationship before actually getting into one. It kind of requires you to be faithful if you want to make it last.
So does that mean if you found someone more attractive, and compatible in the sense of a life with them you would shift lanes?
Just to be clear, I am not judging you. I am not like a moral police or something, just asking. No disrespect meant.
I personally think that I would shift lanes because it would be better than staying in a relationship where I wasn't content with my partner. If I was looking at other guys already, clearly I am not as attracted to him as I thought that I was in the first place. It's true that there will always be someone more attractive, successful, and intelligent than your partner, but I think that sometimes there are exceptions to that kind of thinking. However, I don't think I would get into a relationship with a guy unless I had already weighed my other options in terms of attractiveness and compatibility. I think it's all about finding out who is the best match for you not only in terms of attractiveness, but also in all of the other areas as well. If I found a guy that was everything that I wanted, I highly doubt that I would look for more.
Sorry people who have cheated, but if you found someone who you like better than your partner for whatever reason, just end things with them and move on to this other person. Cheating is such an awful thing to do to a partner. It is more emotionally damaging than people who haven't experienced it can possibly understand.
would you let your SO cheat on you if she found someone better than you? Yeah i don't think so.
This is why people should truly be sure first if they want to be together with a certain person because it means that you will have to commit to him/her only, even when temptation presents itself.
It depends on what I predict the future holds with my current SO. If I don't see the relationship making it very far, then I probably would. But I'm also a guy, so I have penis urges working against me.
It basically comes down to you deciding whether or not the relationship is worth throwing away. If what you have with that person is, or will be, so insignificant, that you decide the relationship is expendable.
Always those 2-3 guys/girls voting for the opposite gender... hmm... perhaps they're transgender...
Rookie mistake. That's what I did on my first question here, lol.
No I would not because I am already with the best guy for me.
If someday I change my mind about that, for whatever reason, then I would leave him and start over. cheating is a shitty and terrible thing to do.
Why bother having an affair with an "upgrade" unless your partner provides something irreplaceable? If the "upgrade" is better they provide that service inherently. This question doesn't really make sense unless you wanted to test the cowardice of mankind.
No. If I am in love with someone I'm not gong to cheat on them just because there is someone else out there who is cuter or more polite. Deceiving a person in a relationship is the worst things you can do.
Cool, I was the 100th to vote no...
=)
Anyways, of course I wouldn't. I'm kind of picky, but not so much so - more about the personality really... So I doubt I would meet someone who would be better than my SO.
^-^
'Hot' means trouble, most of the time. Certainly it nearly always means lying, backstabbing, and self-centered.
So why give up a worthwhile person for someone like that?
Anyone who is a decent person won't cheat. They may fantasize a bit, but not cheat.
Some people really are decent:)
To me it wouldn't matter how much more attractive or better the other person is. If my relationship with my girlfriend is a genuinely great and loving one, I'm not going to fuck that up.
No i wouldn't - cos i will not become one of 'those guys' if i honestly thought i was better off with another person, after talking about it with my gf and if i still felt like that i'd break up with her
I would never cheat. Even if I found another person more attractive, I would break up with my current boyfreind before pursuing them.
Hopefully you are with your significant other for more than their looks. If that is the only reason you are with them it won't last. Looks might be what first attract you to a person but their personality is what keeps you there. Besides, cheating is stupid. It shows more about your own character than anything about your partner!
Not because of hot, but you stated "which is better than your SO", so who won't? (Practically)
I'm not a cheater but if she's labeled as better then there must be a deep reason behind.
Man, I don't believe what people write here. I talk to them on PM and they are completely opposite of what they write here. Don't trust that easily.
(Not all but most of)
Nope cuz whoever I have Is special to me and we more than likely have made an inseparable bond. Someone with looks can't take that away I'd have to get to know her personally. If I got to know her like that it means I already have doubts with the relationship I have. How can you just randomly make a friendship with a beautiful woman when you have a gf? Lol
Waa? O. o
Better? Better what... Looking? How do I know if she is better anything? If I'm thinking about other women in this way it's time to end the relationship cos I've checked out emotionally already
This won't be popular. I personally will never promise a woman that I can remain 100% faithful I can however promise I won't have an affair, which I view as an ongoing relationships.
I have passed up some once in a lifetime opportunities to remain faithful to women who ended up cheating on me. I promised myself to never do that again. Especially with the ease a woman can find a new sexual partner no need for me to deny myself sexual fantasies
"The women I've been with have treated me like shit, therefore I will treat completely unrelated to these incidents women like shit so I can get a bullshit sense of justice for the unfair treatment I've received in the past. It's not faaaaaair, I wanna fuck on the side too, waaaaaaaaah!"
@maskedsanity it has nothing to do with recent at all. I just don't believe in passing up opportunities anymore it has not serve me well in the pass not only did I get screwed over. It I also missed out on once in a lifetime opportunities.
I'm not even saying I would actively perdue another woman but if one who is super hot shows up and wants to get it on with me I'm going to do it.
Why should I assume my loyalty will be rewarded in the future when my experience has taught me loyalty is never rewarded.
Recent= reveng
Perdue=persue
Solution is simple bro. Play women, and make them "waaaaaaah" Remember, no one owes you anything, nobody cares and whoever doesn't like you means nothing. Its your life. You the king of your world and whatever happened previously, you can cut it, and start afresh. I am honestly 32, dumped my long term partner (because I was most definitely going to cheat on her) and you won't even believe the sex shit im getting involved in. I learnt a brilliant life lesson, Never let a girl dictate you or your decisions ever. And you will be surprised how many girls actually start coming to you.
No I would NOT! Why? Because I'm to faithful to my partner. I wouldn't want no one else apart from him. He knows that.
I mean even if you don't care about being viewed as an asshole, if somebody will cheat with you, I feel like it'd be not great leap for them to cheat ON you.
I wouldn't want to betray their trust like that. If I was seriously interested in that "better person" then I would break it off with my boyfriend/girlfriend, and be done with it. It's better for it to be a clean break than having them find out and be heartbroken.
I don't believe in cheating, and if I wasn't happy I would try to fix it. If not I will end it, and plus I don't care about looks so if a hot guy was near me, I wouldn't care.
no even though im single there is someone i really love and i wouldn't cheat on him or do something to hurt him actually i do everything to make him happy and try to make him notice how much i Love him.
No because to me unless there was a clone of my bf. To me nobody is more attractive or as mentally as awesome as him. :)
Why would you do that? Either break up or stay to your girl/guy! You didn't get together with him/her for no reason.
"Well 6 girls who say yes... guys!! Watch out for girls like these!! Stay away from them..."
What about the 7 guys that said yes. Wtf
No, i prefer to dump him first. Then what I do after is not cheating.
Oh of course... no since I'm dumping people unless I'm unhappy.
Nope. If I really felt the other guy was a better match for me, I would end things w/ my SO first, then move on w/ the other one.
If I really didn't like my relationship that much I would break up with my gf and pursue said girl. No need to cheat and cause hurt and drama,
No Wouldn't cheat on my lover with a person who has more sex appeal because I don't act on my thoughts I act on my emotions
No. Nobody's better than my baby anyway so I don't know who you're talking about. ;)
If you're gonna cheat then you might as well not even be with your SO. It's that simple. Don't be an idiot about it.
Good ^_^
If I am not happy with my SO, I would break up with my SO then presue other people.
A fling is not worth loosing who I am with now. So I voted D
I wouldn't cheat.
If I find another girl who I really think is better, then I would at least break up with the current girl first before doing anything.
I would never cheat on my GF, not now, not ever... not even if I was offered billions of pounds or eternal life.
If I were to find someone better, I wouldn't cheat, I would break up with my current SO and then pursue the better option.
No, I wouldn't. That's really disrespectful.
If you're honestly so selfish that you're willing to hurt someone that loves you because someone is "hotter" than them, break up with them first.
Besides the obvious moral reasons, I would say that if I'm a cheater then I'm not a good person. Therefore I would not deserve to sleep with or be with this other guy who is supposedly even "better" somehow than my boyfriend.
no, and it should be the same vice versa, its respect.
Hell no, my husband is wonderful and attractive, there is no one better.
Sorry. I'm all in on my girl. The back door's not open for "someone better."
No I wouldn't. That's a pathetic thing to do no two ways about it.
If you answered yes, u should never of got into a relationship! Put yourself on the other shoe how would you feel if your partner cheated? If you're answer is i wouldn't care then get out now.
No. Cheating is pointless. If there's better than my boyfriend I would just break up with him
If I wasn't happy with someone I would leave them, there is no point in cheating.
No, I would ask my girlfriends permission, and she would be excited for me and say yes. My relationships are amazing :)
Cheating is wrong. Period. No one wants to be treated that way, so why make justifications for why it's ok for you? If you have to cheat then you're just a really crappy person regardless of the reason.
